Born Free Foundation - Keep Wildlife in the Wild

Chimpanzees are our closest relatives.  They are extremely intelligent, feel complex emotions and live together in close-knit family communities, with a defined hierarchy.  But despite our fascination with their behaviour, chimps suffer terrible exploitation at human hands.  Poachers butcher entire families for the commercial ‘bushmeat’ market and sell the babies as exotic pets.
